Given that Palace and brighton hate each other also I think it’s fun to imagine the situation if it was us in that boat. van Dijk decides he wants to leave and go to Madrid or somewhere and Arne Slot tells the board to block him leaving unless we get a suitable replacement.
Then on deadline day Hughes gives Slot a call and says “don’t worry Arne, got a new LCB all sorted” and in walks Lisandro Martinez for a medical. I think we would want Slot to kick off as well 
pretty broad in reality…
i get there are other moving parts…
but Glasner still has a right/obligation to do what he thinks is right…its as simple AND complicated as that really …yep, theres other moving parts, but yep, Glasners POV is relevant
I don’t think it is in his nature, he is honest as they come and very religious hence why if he is fit he will give his honest all in that match and we will try and sign him even more just for that immense quality.
I think Parish was trying to put his head in the sand as TIA reported that somehow he disappeared to a previous appointment in soho for a fitness class he only got back to Palace one hour before the widow end leaving Glasnost to do his worst .
Three key players - Glasner, Guehi, Parish - and they did not all want the same thing, hence the mess. It’s a lack of alignment.
Glasner wanted to keep his star defender as it makes Palace better and makes Glasner look better too.
Guehi wanted his move. He gave his all for Palace, was as professional as could be, but then got shafted at the end in a power struggle between manager/owner.
Parish, pragmatically, decided that 35M for a player who was not going to sign a new deal was too much money for a club like Palace to turn down.
Glasner threatened to quit. Parish would have been left without a manager and a captain, so he acquiesced. Whether or not that was wise remains to be seen. Palace are now fractured, things will be awkward, and before too long both Glasner and Guehi will be gone anyway. The 35M will either be zero next summer, or 15-20M early January.
Hard to believe this is true:
Man Utd, get in while the odds are good. Before Jan.
That makes it look like parish was trying to avoid Guehi until it was too late to finalise a deal. While Parish and Glasner have every right to do what they did in Palaces name, 1 was a coward and the other a cnut to do it to Guehi at such a late hour on deadline day, when he thought and hoped everything was wrapped up.
I dont see how it makes much difference, Parish Probably doesnt have a black book of available defenders to call.
Is TIA the only ones reporting this?
Add in John Textor and Dougie Freidman.
The story doesnt make sense and TIA have published only half of it. The story reported elsewhere is that he sanctioned the move in the afternoon and then hours later went to do his fitness class where he was supposedly unreachable for an hour. But by that time Liverpool were already moving on the formalities needed to close it and it wasnt our lack of time that ultimately derailed it.
From the flipside it could be Gasner saying don’t sell my best players and replace it with those half as good… and drag the team, and me down performance wise.
With headlines like this (reported originally in Daily Mail), it’s really hard for me not to see palace as anything other than a bunch of buffoons.
Or maybe the Mail are a bunch of buffoons.
Ha, both things can be true.
I have a picture of us thumping them 7-0 again and Glasner getting the sack
Once more with feeling:
Palace shafted their captain.
Palace shafted Liverpool.
Their internal politics isn’t the issue here. They shafted their captain, no matter what.
This thread is gonna be very repetitive and dull until January, isn’t it?
Another fucking hatchet job in the Telegraph.
Telegraph is a paper written by cunts for cunts, Hitler was less deluded in April 1945 than their columnists.
